Science Summit 2018: Life as a researcher

We want to show what life as a researcher looks like: the joy, the frustration, the friendship and the odd things that occur on a daily basis. Send us a photo (taken by you or your colleagues) of how you perceive life as a scientist. We will show the photos in a slideshow during the event.

SciLifeLab has been created by the coordinated effort of four universities in Stockholm and Uppsala: Stockholm University, Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Uppsala University.
